In-game comments post: Maine

Don't take this game lightly! Maine beat a FBS team last year (ok, it was only UMass). But this will be a good test for our team's focus and maturity. Are they ready to compete every week? Can they handle the comedown off of the USC win? Let's hope so. Leave your thoughts and comments on the game below.

Tied with Maine deep in the second quarter. Meanwhile, a horrible Iowa team is hanging with Pitt. I'm really concerned about this BC team. The good news is we are young and will improve with each game. The bad news is we have no passing ability and our defensive backs are the worst I have seen at BC in a long time.

Danny, I agree. BC has the luxury of several backs and I think you need to go with who has the hot hand. That was Hilliman last week. Seems to be Willis today. Although Sherm had 2 nice runs in the first and has not received the ball since.

I guess I just don't understand using Rouse. He's like a poor man's Willis. I don't like running Alston exclusively out of the backfield, but it's clear we need to find more ways to get the ball into his hands.
